Scumbag / pro tip. You can mig steel to cast iron. I'd be tempted to cut that manifold above the boss for the heat shield and weld on my own flange then connect to my existing exhaust. It's a low tech solution but it would get you on the road.

Hi Y10 buddy.

Could you use an easier to find front wheel drive manifold?

Or modgie Monday.

@Mof Take it in loaded. That often helps.

Wow! This is really exciting. I like your plastic? stands, they would make life easier. I'm really glad that you've made a tube jig. I use new hole saws welded to some 7/8 bar so they are held really strongly in the chuck.

Has it got a poked computer? That's another classic mitsubishi thing to do. Are the injectors cycling?

Cool, glad you kept the 6 cylinder. Is it still on gas?

92. CD5? 3/10. Had nice seats,

Early l200 and a 4G93t lancer. Seeing as I've mentioned it. Never have I experienced. . . Such noisy lifters with so much Promar in the sump. Such whiney cam drive noises. Such cracked exhaust manifold. Such head gasket pouring engine oil out. Such interior falling apart for no reason. Such low oil pressure at idle with no bearing wear. Such high oil consumption. Such smoky plumes. Such shitty shifting gearbox. Until I owned two Mitsubishis. Edit. Such fried engine ECU.

I'd never experienced a car that used so much petrol but was so slow until I owned a mitsubishi.

Not the problem then.

Where does the temperature gauge needle sit when it's at operating temperature?

Is the thermostat working correctly?

@Bling Unscrew the idle mixture screw and give the hole it came out of shot of compressed air and see if that helps.

Oldschool.co.nz Every project is up on blocks.

So I skipped a few picture updates. After lots of cleaning, grinding, filing, and making up a seat stay I tripped this off at the paint shop for sand blasting and a coat of black. I picked it up today, really pleased with it. They used chassis black paint which looks spot on in my opinion. Not to bright not too dull. I got the rims done at the same time so next thing to do is rebuild the wheels.

I'd fill the sump with CRC 556 if I was you.

Weld/panel beat that plate or get a personalised plate with those letters and numbers then paint it black.

@Roman is the head still off the engine? If it is it is more cost effective to machine the clearance off the top of the valve and use the buckets you have already. When you need more clearance that is.

@kpr what's the story with 7age builds? More volume than the head can flow?

Why not both!

Today a bike was born/reborn. And mocked up. There is lots of clean up to do which Iwill start on tomorrow. Exciting times.

I had such high hopes when you mentioned tang n desprang.
